The differences between the BMW 850ADV and 850GS lie in their power and configurations. Below is a detailed introduction to the distinctions between the two: 1. Power: The 850ADV has the best fuel usage conditions and the highest endurance capability. 2. Configurations: The 850ADV once again stands out as the champion, featuring more off-road suitable 21/17-inch front and rear wheels. The suspension setup of the 850ADV is also better suited for complex multi-terrain conditions. The front suspension not only has a long travel but also features an inverted 43mm diameter suspension, while the rear suspension offers dynamic electronic suspension adjustment, known as BMW's ESA electronic suspension.

I've always been a BMW motorcycle enthusiast, having ridden the 850 GS and 850 ADV several times, and found the ADV version leans more towards hardcore adventure. It has higher suspension and noticeably increased ground clearance, making it less prone to scraping the chassis on mountain roads; the wheels are larger, with a 21-inch front wheel compared to the GS's 19-inch, providing more stability on muddy sections. The fuel tank capacity is significantly larger, with the ADV holding about 23 liters versus the GS's roughly 15 liters, reducing the need for frequent gas stops on long trips. There's also more additional protection, like engine guards, which lowers the risk of damage in a fall. The ADV is about 20 kilograms heavier, resulting in slightly slower acceleration, making it ideal for those prioritizing durability; the GS is lighter and more agile, better suited for city commuting or casual rides.

When should the first maintenance be performed for a new car during the break-in period?

New cars should undergo their first maintenance at 5,000 kilometers during the break-in period. Generally, 4S dealerships offer free maintenance services for new cars, with guidance from technical personnel. Below is relevant information about vehicle maintenance: 1. Check if the car has any issues. 2. Change the engine oil. 3. Replace internal machine components. 4. Perform car detailing, such as applying films and paintwork. Below are precautions for the new car break-in period: 1. Do not exceed two-thirds of the maximum speed, keep engine RPM below 3,000-3,500, avoid sudden acceleration and hard braking. 2. Avoid overloading, regularly check tire pressure, coolant, and brake fluid. 3. When driving downhill for long distances, control the speed and avoid sudden engine braking. For manual transmission models, anticipate gear shifts in advance and avoid shifting at inappropriate speeds.

How Long Can a 2021 License Plate Be Retained?

The original license plate can be retained when the vehicle is transferred, deregistered, or relocated. 3. Both used and new vehicles are eligible for license plate retention applications. 4. All traffic violation records associated with the original vehicle must be resolved. How to apply for retaining the original license plate: 1. First, complete the transfer, deregistration, or relocation procedures for the original vehicle. 2. Apply for a new vehicle quota. 3. When scheduling an appointment at the vehicle management office for license plate registration, submit an application to continue using the original license plate. Note: The one-year retention period for the original license plate starts from the date the vehicle's transfer or deregistration is completed.

Can You Add Water to Car Coolant?

It is not recommended to add water. It is advisable to use antifreeze as the circulating fluid for the engine to ensure optimal heat dissipation, effective cold and frost protection, and to maintain the engine's good working condition. Below are some relevant details: 1. General antifreeze formula: 50% pure water, 40% methanol, and 10% other substances, including dyes, corrosion inhibitors, and descaling agents. 2. If you frequently top up with pure water or tap water, over time, it can create a vicious cycle. The boiling point of water is 100°C, while antifreeze typically has a boiling point about 10°C or more higher. Adding water causes it to deplete faster. 3. The normal operating temperature of a car is around 90°C, often nearing 100°C for short periods, leading to faster evaporation and natural depletion. Therefore, irregularly adding water can negatively impact the engine's cooling cycle. Additionally, it is less effective for cold and frost protection in winter and can increase engine wear during cold starts.

What Does D3 Gear Mean?

D3 gear means the following: 1. D3 gear limits the gear changes to between 1st and 3rd gears, without automatic upshifting. Generally, at speeds below 40 km/h on normal roads, there is no noticeable difference (the shifting program is the same as in D gear). However, when exceeding this speed, instead of upshifting to 4th gear as it normally would, the engine RPM increases. Normally, shifting occurs below 2500 RPM, but in D3 gear, it can maintain above 3000 RPM, making acceleration more responsive at this point. 2. D3 gear is also a driving gear, basically the same as D gear except that it only shifts between the first three forward gears. However, when driving, it is important to pay attention to the maximum speed allowed by the 3rd gear to avoid damaging the engine.
